Abstract
The Vembanad lake of Ketala (lat. 9°28and 10°101' and long. 76 °13' and 76 °31') is
60 km long from north to south (Cochin to
Alleppey) and has an area of 21 OSO ha.
Thanneermukkom salinity barrier has separated
this lake into 2 entirely different ecosystems,
estuarine northern sector or the
downstream region (Cochin to
Thanneermukkom; Cochin backwaters area,
12440 ha) and freshwater southern sector
or the upstream region (Thanneermukkom
to AUeppey; area, 8610 ha). So far no concerted
attempt has been made to quantify the
exploited fin fish and crustacean resources
of this lake.
